A.N.: I really don't like having short chapters, but this story is basically a story where I wrote it as one really long story. Small chapters are easier to deal with too. I'm sure they'll get longer when the story gets off of the ground. So please give me some patience and I will do my best to provide!
Kagome gained consciousness the next day. Inuyasha was still sleeping at her side. Her family came and took both of them home for a more comfortable recovery. Inuyasha was healing much faster than Kagome, but that wasn't to say that Kagome's mother let him get out of bed.
Kagome was walking after a few days of bed rest. Inuyasha kept a close eye on her just to make sure he'd catch her if she fell.
To Kagome, her injuries were not an excuse to not do any schoolwork. She hadn't been in school for a while, and was really beginning to worry about being left back.
For two days straight, she'd been doing homework and studying. Her mother was even getting annoyed. Kagome had already fallen asleep four times and left the heavy book lying over her wound.
"Kagome, how are your wounds going to heal if you place books that weigh fifty pounds on them?" Her mother threatened one afternoon. Inuyasha had been outside playing with Kagome's cat and the sudden shouting made him start.
"Kagome, why don't you just take the rest of the year off? Trying to be in two time periods at once isn't good for your health at all." Her mother suggested.
"Mom, I'm doing all this work so I won't have to do that! I want to graduate at the same time as my friends! What will they think if I just take the rest of the year off? They'll think I'm dying or something!" Kagome shouted.
"Fine dear. But you do have that option if you choose." Her mother left. Kagome needed fresh air. Studying so much was driving her a little crazy. She actually wanted more than anything to be with Inuyasha and the others until they found all of the shards and defeated Naraku, but that was impossible.
Kagome stepped out and walked to the sacred tree. Whenever she had to think about serious things, the tree was great for peace and quiet.
She lost track of how long she'd been sitting there when Inuyasha jumped down from where here was sitting above her. He was holding her cat.
"How long are you planning to sit there?" He asked. "Inuyasha! I completely forgot about you! I thought you'd be back in the feudal era." She said.
"Didn't anyone tell you? I'm your houseguest. Naraku destroyed the well after we fell in. I thought you knew that. Anyway, we're trapped here until we find a way to get back. I guess I'm not in too much of a hurry. I have to wait and make sure you're okay. It is my fault you got hurt." He said.
"We're stuck here? I guess I really didn't know that. I think I lost consciousness before we fell. I'm sorry...that you're stuck here." Kagome said.
"Well whatever. I'm only stuck here until we find a way to get back. What's it matter? You're in my world all the time. I guess its okay for me to be in yours." He said. He was playing with Kagome's cat absent-mindedly.
"Well, if you will be here for a while, we can't have you running around without shoes or proper clothes."
"What the hell is wrong with what I'm wearing?" He asked. "Inuyasha, people dress differently in this time. And everyone wears shoes. It's a rule. And I don't know about your sword. Weapons are not allowed in public places."
"What?! I always carry Tetsusaiga with me!" Inuyasha thought the other things were stupid but this? "Well, maybe there's a way to get around that. Perhaps you can tell them its fake." Kagome was getting a bit annoyed now.
"Fine, Whatever. I'll change my clothes and wear shoes." Inuyasha gave in. "Good. We'll go shopping tomorrow." Kagome said. "And you'll need a hat too. There aren't any people with dog ears in this world, so they might be afraid if they ever saw them." Kagome said.
